Air Jordan 10s Seattle

         We were reminded of the Air Jordan X ‘City Series’ when its ‘Chicago’ colorway retroed this January followed by the white leather-uppered ‘Old Royal’ edition the following month, but that brand new colorup signaled the end of the road for Retro 10s in 2012. If we were to be blessed with more AJXs this year, surely the pair pictured above would be among the most coveted, the‘Seattle’ Air Jordan 10 that offered a bit of indirect foreshadowing of Michael Jordan bending the Sonics under his will a year after its release. This OG pair from 1995 looks to be in pristine shape and includes the original packaging for anyone who’s willing to ship $900 including S&H.

Lebron XI

Lebron XI

It has been a big question in the Lebron community whether or not Nike was making the Lebron XI. Furthermore, the picture of Lebron in practice wearing an unidentified shoe increased buyers curiosity. I am glad to say that according to Dunne(2013) Nike is releasing the shoe soon (p n.d). The Lebron XI are said to have an altered design that consists of Armorposite, which is a light, but a supportive material. Also, there is an increase in flywire, Lunarlon, and Zoom cushioning, which will make the sneaker very comfortable to play in. The only downside is that the shoes may not be as light as previous designs. If you’re wondering when the shoe releases, Dunne(2013) says that supposedly, the Lebron XI debut is in October, 2013 (p n.d). There will be 5 colorways coming out, which are unknown, and they will sell for $200. To keep updates on changes or details on the Lebron XI check sneakernew.com.

Air Jordan 11 'Pink Snakeskin"



          Jordan has released a new snakeskin colorway for the 11, after it was highly demanded by the fans of Jordan. This retro will be bittersweet knowing the fact that these are only for GS (Dunne, 2013, pg.3). This snakeskin will be pink with a icy sole, and all white outing, making this a really popular release before its even released. Ebay will have an early release for these sometime this week in June (Dunne, 2013, pg.3)

Nike Roshe Run Dynamic Flywire "Hyper Blue"

     In just three pairs previewed including the first one last week, the Nike Roshe Run Dynamic Flywire has given us three different makeups involving similar two-toned setups.  It’s the details that sets these colorways apart, like the Strata Grey edition that featured four different Dynamic Flywire cables/eyelets.  On this Hyper Blue edition, it’s all Ice Blue up the middle, with the aforementioned grey shade coming in on the side panel Swooshes.  Have a closer look so you can see how this more opaque application compares to the Tiffany-leaning edition and stick with Sneaker News because for updates as we approach this pair’s May 2013 launch.

Nike Zoom Soldier 7's

Nike Zoom Soldier 7’s Colorways

Lebron has still continued to make the new Nike Zoom Soldiers even though his audiences’ main focus is on the Lebron XI. The Soldiers used to be the playoff shoe for Lebron when he was on the ClevendCalvaliers, but now on the Heat, Lebron made a change. Although the Soldiers aren’t worn by Lebron anymore, according to hope(2013) they are still one of the most used shoe for high school basketball teams(P N.D). Also the upcoming Soldiers still have the same iconic design to them with the crown logo and the Strap over the top of the shoe. However, Hope (2013) said Nike has made a few changes and has come out with a yellow, royal blue, white/black, and a green colorway that will give them a more creative look to them (P. N.D). Also, new fly-ware and some aspects to the design have been altered to give it a new conservative look. The release date of this shoe is not yet known and the retail price (Maybe $130) is questionable. To Keep updates on the Soldier VII go to sneakernews.com or Nikelebron.net

Adidas Mutombo



It was brought to my attention today that Adidas is bringing back the old legendary shoe of the great shot blocker Dikembe Mutombo. Most people probably don’t even know what these shoes look like, however a good description for them is that they are themed around African Culture and have many colorful and creative designs that make the shoe definitely standout. Also, the Adidas Mutombo have number 55 stitched on the side, which was Dikembe’s number on the Rockets. I do not really know how comfortable these shoes are since they were released before I was alive, but I would definitely suggest that you try them out. The release date for this sneaker is unknown, but according to Dunne(2013), pre-ordering is available online (P N.D). To keep updates on the Adidas Mutombo, check sneakernews.com or Adidas’ official website.
